Defense wins championships my friend. And Russell was one of the best, if not the best, defensive centers in history. He always had hall of famers around him, but he's wars with Wilt justified him being in the conversation. If you rank players on offense only, then yes, Russell ain't even top 20 all time. But the complete player, defense, offense, rebounds, guarding better players, will to win, Basketball IQ. You don't get any better than Russell, and the rings speak for themselves.

BRUCE BOWEN THE GOAT
look, i know he was a great defender...but to be in GOAT discussion, u have to do it at both ends. Russell never cracking the 20 ppg mark easily removes him from that discussion. like i said, he's somewhere between kareem and horry.

Also impact, importance, and being a starter for a winning team, and defending someone like Wilt, and coaching a team that you are playing for,.
Also, let's get some things very clear. Before Russell, the Celtics still had hall of fame players like Cousy, Sharman and others. Guess how many times they made the finals? None. After Russell retired, they still had hall of famers like John Havlicek, and returned 7 other players. In 1969-70, they didn't even finish with a winning record. Russell was very important to everything Boston did. He was the glue that held it all together.

RUSSELL AVERAGED 9 PPG ON A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM LMAO...GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. AND HAVILCEK ACTUALLY DID WIN WITHOUT RUSSELL. HAVILCEK AVERAGED DOUBLE WHAT RUSSELL DID. HE'S THE GOAT WINNER, AND THAT'S IT.
